Now I am not 100% sure, but as far as i can remember, the DSL company comes to your house and puts in a new phone jack "looking" wall thingy. So, yes. You'll have two different phone jack looking things now. One for the phone specific and one for the DSL specific.
Router thing is a breeze. Literally, it's buy the router, plug the DSL connection to it, then plug your devices into the router. Set your PC to DHCP and you are good to go! The computer will find out what the number is and you are good to go. Unless you already know the number, then you can input it yourself. But the DHCP way is the easiest.
Am I to assume that your other device is a console?

the 2nd machine will be my new PC, the DSL will be connected to this PC or vise versa.

thanks for the input guys, i was afraid the phone company needed to come out and start running wires and putting holes in my walls haha. anyway im going to call them today and more than likely get the ball rolling. thanks
